How Shipium's Data Modeling Powers Efficient Operations
To truly modernize shipping operations and optimize for costs and performance, you need to look at all available data. This means both gaining leverage over your own data (historical transit times, carrier contracts & cost structures etc.) as well as considering outside data that impacts your network (weather patterns, unexpected carrier changes, macroeconomic factors like fuel prices.)
Make Prime-Like Delivery Promise Part of Your Strategy
As a retailer, it’s probably no secret to you that online shopping is a cornerstone of your digital customer experience strategy.

Your shipping network generates a wealth of data that can be used to de-risk process decisions. Most organizations are already making use of detailed reporting and analytics to understand historical performance and costs — but in the age of predictive analytics, that’s not enough to keep operations on par with more technologically advanced competitors.
